The exFAT format allows individual files larger than 4 GB, facilitating long continuous recording of HD video, which can exceed the 4 GB limit in less than an hour. Current digital cameras using FAT32 will break the video files into multiple segments of approximately 2 or 4 GB.
The Hierarchical File System groups these logical blocks into allocation blocks, which can contain one or more logical blocks, depending on the total size of the volume. HFS uses a 16-bit value to address allocation blocks, limiting the number of allocation blocks to 65,535 (2 16-1). Five structures make up an HFS volume:
Classic Mac OS drivers partition Apple_HFS: Hierarchical File System: Apple_HFS: While normally a HFS or HFS+ volume for Mac OS and Mac OS X, it can also contain an MS-DOS formatted file system (File Allocation Table, which can be accessed by Mac OS and Mac OS X). Apple_HFSX: HFS Plus: This partition contains a HFS+ volume without a HFS wrapper.
HFS Plus or HFS+ (also known as Mac OS Extended or HFS Extended [5]) is a journaling file system developed by Apple Inc. It replaced the Hierarchical File System (HFS) as the primary file system of Apple computers with the 1998 release of Mac OS 8.1.
A block, a contiguous number of bytes, is the minimum unit of storage that is read from and written to a disk by a disk driver.The earliest disk drives had fixed block sizes (e.g. the IBM 350 disk storage unit (of the late 1950s) block size was 100 six-bit characters) but starting with the 1301 [8] IBM marketed subsystems that featured variable block sizes: a particular track could have blocks ...

MFS – Macintosh File System, used on early Classic Mac OS systems. Succeeded by Hierarchical File System (HFS). Next3 – A form of ext3 with snapshots support. [6] MFS – TiVo's Media File System, a proprietary fault tolerant format used on TiVo hard drives for real time recording from live TV. Minix file system – Used on Minix systems
exFAT is supported in macOS starting with version 10.6.5 (Snow Leopard). [32] Support in other operating systems is sparse since implementing support for exFAT requires a license. exFAT is the only file system that is fully supported on both macOS and Windows that can hold files larger than 4 GB.
